Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multimedia messaging service (MMS) method of a mobile communication terminal and, more particularly, to a multimedia messaging service (MMS) method of a mobile communication terminal capable of providing a multimedia messaging service according to a streaming method.
- MMS multimedia messaging service
- MMS multimedia messaging service
- the multimedia message provided through the MMS has a relatively large size, thus it cannot be directly transmitted to a recipient terminal like a short message provided through the SMS.
- a multimedia message transmitted from an originator terminal is first uploaded to a multimedia messaging service center (MMSC), and then the MMSC downloads the uploaded multimedia message to the recipient terminal, so that the multimedia message can be stored in the recipient terminal and contents of the stored multimedia message can be checked thereafter.
- MMSC multimedia messaging service center
- SMSC short message service center
- the SMSC Upon receiving the request for transmission of the notification message, the SMSC transmits an announcement message (namely, an MMS notification message) to the recipient terminal to thus inform the recipient that the multimedia message has been transmitted from the originator and at the same time asks whether the recipient wants to receive the multimedia message. Then, when the recipient checks the notification message and instructs transmission of the multimedia message to the recipient terminal, the recipient terminal downloads the multimedia message from the MMSC.
- an announcement message namely, an MMS notification message
- Document US 2004/0148400 A1 discloses a multimedia messaging service, in which a user agent is notified of availability of a multimedia message and subsequently, after the user agent has sent a retrieve request, a streamable media component of a multimedia message is streamed to the user agent in a streaming session.
- the document relates in particular to downloading of both streamable and non-streamable media components in a consistent manner.
- Document WO 2004/056067 A1 relates to a method and a system for a multimedia messaging service.
- the beginning part of a multimedia message is delivered beforehand to a mobile terminal.
- a user of the mobile terminal wants to view the message, the portion of the message which was sent beforehand and stored locally on the mobile terminal will be played back immediately, while at the same time a user agent residing in the mobile terminal contacts a media server for the remaining contents using a streaming technology.
- One aspect of the invention relates to the recognition by the present inventors of the following drawbacks in the related art.
- the related art multimedia message receiving method is an "indirect" transmission method, which is used when the recipient terminal is working on a different task. That is, if the recipient terminal receives a large size multimedia message (or a large number of multiple multimedia messages) while performing a different task, a loss of data can occur because such multimedia message(s) may not be properly received. Additionally, although the downloading fees for a multimedia message may be rather expensive, if a communication environment of a cell in which the recipient terminal is located in is not good, the multimedia message may be lost during the downloading process, but the user would nonetheless still be charged for such unsuccessful downloading.
- the entire multimedia message as received is stored in a non-volatile memory of the recipient terminal.
- the size of the multimedia message to be stored is greater than the storage capacity of the non-volatile memory, the multimedia message cannot be properly downloaded.
- the related art multimedia message receiving method has a problem that it is difficult to check whether the received multimedia message is actually a spam message unless the recipient downloads the received multimedia message and then checks its content. That is, the recipient has no choice but to download the high-priced multimedia message and checks whether it is a spam message or not.
- one object of the present invention is to provide a multimedia messaging service method of a mobile communication terminal by which if a received multimedia message is or likely to be a spam message, the streaming rate and/or the buffer capacity of a recipient terminal are set at their lowest levels such that only minimum packet data is received to thus minimize unnecessary fees being charged to the user when undesirable messages (i.e., spam) is received.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a multimedia messaging service method of a mobile communication terminal by which although a received multimedia message cannot be entirely downloaded due to lack of memory capacity in a recipient terminal, sufficient portions of the multimedia message can be streamingly received for the purpose of allowing its content to be checked.
- a multimedia messaging service method of a mobile communication terminal comprising: receiving message information extracted from a multimedia message by a multimedia messaging service center; setting a streaming rate and buffer size based on the received message information; and receiving the multimedia message according to the set streaming rate and buffer size.
- a user terminal comprising: a transceiver to transmit and receive signals with a network; a buffer to store various information; and a processor cooperating with the transceiver and the buffer to operate in a multimedia messaging service reception mode comprising, receiving message information extracted from a multimedia message by the network, setting a streaming rate and buffer size based on the received message information, and receiving the multimedia message according to the set streaming rate and buffer size.
- a multimedia messaging service method and a user mobile communication terminal providing the multimedia messaging service method, capable of reducing an unnecessary fee charge according to streaming by setting a streaming rate and a buffer size at a minimum level of a recipient terminal and streaming a multimedia message when the multimedia message is or highly likely to be a spam message (or contain undesirable content), and capable of receiving the multimedia message by the recipient terminal according to a streaming method and checking its content when the size of the multimedia message is smaller than a remaining space of a memory of the recipient terminal, in accordance with the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- a multimedia messaging service refers to providing still images, video messages, video conferencing, etc. that employ multimedia data processing (e.g., providing MPEG-4 solutions, etc.) via mobile communication network technologies (e.g., 2.5G networks, 3G networks, 4G networks, etc.), as well as various types of wireless access technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Wi-Bro, etc.).
- mobile communication network technologies e.g., 2.5G networks, 3G networks, 4G networks, etc.
- wireless access technologies e.g., Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, Wi-Bro, etc.

- the originator MMS relay/server 110 receives the multimedia message from the originator terminal 100 (namely, the originator MMS UA), and transmits it to the recipient MMS relay/server 140 where the recipient terminal 150 belongs.
- the recipient MMS relay/server 140 receives the multimedia message transmitted from the originator MMS relay/server 140, and stores it, and when reception of the multimedia message is completed, the recipient MMS relay/server analyzes the received multimedia message, extracts information about the received multimedia message (such as a message type, a message size, an originator of the message, an effective term of the message, etc.), adds the extracted information on the multimedia message in a notification message informing a recipient about the arrival of the multimedia message, and transmits the notification message to the recipient terminal 150.
- information about the received multimedia message such as a message type, a message size, an originator of the message, an effective term of the message, etc.
- the recipient MMS relay/server 140 can download the stored multimedia message to the recipient terminal 150 according to a request from the recipient terminal 150, or transfers the stored multimedia message to the streaming server 120, so that the streaming server 120 can convert it into streaming data and transfer the converted multimedia message to the recipient terminal 150 in a streaming manner.
- the recipient terminal 150 When the recipient terminal 150 receives the notification message from the recipient MMS relay/server 140, the multimedia message undergoes a checking procedure by the recipient, and the recipient terminal 150 is connected with the recipient MMS relay/server 140 to download the multimedia message stored in the recipient MSM relay/server 140 or receives the multimedia message which has been converted into streaming data from the streaming server 120 in a streaming manner, whereby the recipient can check the contents of the multimedia message.
- the recipient terminal 150 when the recipient terminal 150 receives the notification message from the recipient MMS relay/server 140, it compares the size of the multimedia message of the message information included in the notification message and the size of a remaining space of the memory of the recipient terminal 150. When the size of the multimedia message is greater than the size of the remaining space of the memory, the recipient terminal 150 provides a message to the recipient to recommend that the recipient receive and check the content of the multimedia message by using a streaming manner. If the size of the multimedia message is not greater than the size of the remaining space of the memory, the recipient terminal 150 provides a message for recommending that the recipient select one of the streaming method, the downloading method and some other method to check the content of the multimedia message to the recipient.
- the "streaming” method refers to providing the multimedia message to the mobile terminal at the same time displaying it in real time, or storing only a portion of data of the provided multimedia message in the mobile terminal and at the same time displaying it
- the “downloading” method refers to providing the entirety of the multimedia message to the mobile terminal and storing the entire data of the provided multimedia message in the mobile terminal.
- the streaming server 120 converts the multimedia message stored in the recipient MMS relay/server 140 into streaming transmission service type data according to a request from the recipient terminal 150, and transmits the converted streaming data to the recipient terminal 150 according to a streaming protocol.
- the packet data transmission unit 130 (e.g., an SGSN (Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node)) is used to provide the multimedia message to the recipient terminal 150 according to a packet data protocol in a packet transmission method, when the multimedia message is transmitted to the recipient terminal 150 according to the downloading method, the streaming method or some other method.
- SGSN Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Support Node
- the multimedia messaging system for implementing the multimedia messaging service method of the mobile communication terminal divides the multimedia messaging service center (MMSC) into an originator side and a recipient side, and as shown in FIG. 1 , the originator MMS relay/server 110 and the recipient MMS relay/server 140 are separately shown.
- the originator MMS relay/server 110 and the recipient MMS relay/server 140 can be the same server or different servers that are located at different parts of the network.
- the multimedia messaging service method of the mobile communication terminal will now be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1 .
- the originator terminal 100 (namely, originator MMS UA) transmits a created multimedia message to the originator MMS relay/server 110, and requests the originator MMS relay/server 110 to transmit the multimedia message to the recipient terminal 150 (i.e., the recipient MMS UA) (1. MM1_submit.REQ).
- the originator MMS relay/serer 110 receives the multimedia message from the terminal 100, receives the request for transmission of the multimedia message, and respond to the transmission request (2. MM1_submit.RES).
- the originator MMS relay/server 110 forwards the multimedia message to the recipient MMS relay/server 140 that serves the recipient terminal 150 according to the request for transmission of the multimedia message from the originator terminal 100 (3. MM4_forward.REQ).
- the recipient MMS relay/serer 140 receives the multimedia message from the originator MMS relay/serer 110, and then, informs the originator MMS relay/server 110 that the multimedia message has been normally received (4. MM4_forward.RES).
- the recipient MMS relay/server 140 analyzes the multimedia message received from the originator MMS relay/server 110, extracts a message class (e.g., a personal message, a spam message (i.e., an advertisement message), an information service message, etc.), a message type, a transmission ID, an MMS version, a message size, an expiration date, a message reference (e.g., a URI), a title, an importance level, an address of originator, and the like, adds the extracted message information in a notification message informing the recipient that the multimedia message has been received, and transmits it to the recipient terminal 150 (5. MM1_notification.REQ).
- a message class e.g., a personal message, a spam message (i.e., an advertisement message), an information service message, etc.
- a message type e.g., a transmission ID, an MMS version, a message size, an expiration date, a message reference (e.g., a URI), a title
- the recipient terminal 150 When the recipient terminal 150 receives the notification message from the recipient MMS relay/server 140, it informs the recipient MMS relay/server 140 that the notification message has been normally received, and provides the notification message and the information of the multimedia message included in the notification message to the recipient, so that the recipient can determine whether to check the multimedia message (6. MM1_notification.RES).
- the recipient terminal 150 compares the message size of the information of the multimedia message included in the notification message and the size of the remaining space of the memory of the recipient terminal 150. If the remaining space of the memory of the recipient terminal 150 is smaller than the size of the multimedia message, the recipient terminal 150 receives the multimedia message according to the streaming method (rather than the downloading method), and provides a message to the recipient recommending that the contents should be checked. If the size of the remaining space of the memory is greater than the size of the multimedia message, the recipient can be informed so that he can select either the downloading method or the streaming method as the operation mode (namely, a multimedia message check mode) for checking the received multimedia message.
- the operation mode for checking the received multimedia message can employ other methods besides the downloading method and the streaming method.
- the recipient terminal 150 informs the recipient MMS relay/server 140 that the notification message has been normally received, and transmits a multimedia message check request message including the information on the multimedia message check mode (which refers to streaming or downloading) to the reception MMS relay/server 140 (7.MM1_retrieve.REQ). Then, the recipient MMS relay/server 140 transmits a response message with respect to the multimedia message check request message to the recipient terminal 150 (8. MM1_retrieve.RES).
- the recipient MMS relay/server 140 adds an SDP (Session Description Protocol) file in the response message with respect to the multimedia message check request message and transmits it to the recipient terminal 150.
- SDP Session Description Protocol
- the SDP file includes information on the data to be streamed such as descriptions for a session for the streaming service, the media type, the media transmission rate, etc.
- the recipient MMS relay/server 140 downloads the multimedia message stored in the recipient MMS relay/server 140.
- a real-time streaming protocol (RTSP) is set between the recipient terminal 150 and the streaming server 120 to set up a session for the streaming service.
- the streaming rate Quality of Service (QoS)
- QoS Quality of Service
- the buffer size are determined (9. RTSP:SETUP).
- the session of the streaming service through setting of the RTSP can be set as an optimum streaming rate and the buffer size are automatically determined according to a state (condition) of the recipient terminal 150 and a state (condition) of the communication network.
- the recipient terminal 150 checks the multimedia message information included in the notification message provided by the reception MMS relay/server 140, and if the received multimedia message is found to be a spam message, the streaming rate is automatically set as a minimum size to receive the multimedia message or the recipient can personally check the multimedia message information included in the notification message to determine whether the received multimedia message is a spam message or not so that he can personally select the streaming rate and the buffer size.
- the streaming rate may be automatically set to be the minimum size to receive it as follows. For example, if the recipient terminal 150 provides a streaming service at transmission rates of 384 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 64 Kbps and 32 Kbps and a current basic streaming rate is set as 128 Kbps, the recipient terminal 150 automatically sets the streaming rate as 32 Kbps, so that it can receive the multimedia message at the minimum streaming rate of the recipient terminal 150.
- the streaming rate and the buffer size can be forcibly set to be the minimum to receive the multimedia message according to streaming method to check its content, and the streaming rate and the buffer size can be re-set based on the content. For example, while the content of the multimedia message is being checked according to the streaming method, if the multimedia message is determined not to be a spam message, the streaming rate and the buffer size can be increased during the streaming.
- the recipient since the recipient can set the streaming rate and the buffer size, unnecessary charging of fees can be prevented or minimized.
- the recipient terminal 150 requests activation of a packet data protocol (PDP) to the packet data transmission unit 130 to receive the data of the multimedia message which has been converted into the streaming data by the streaming server 120 as a packet-based data service, and the packet data transmission unit (SGSN) 130 activates the PDP and sets up a session for the packet data transmission service (10.
- PDP packet data protocol
- SGSN packet data transmission unit
- the streaming server 120 After the session for the packet data transmission service is set up, when the recipient terminal 150 requests the streaming server 120 to transmit the streaming data (11. RTSP: PLAY), the streaming server 120 transmits the streaming data to the recipient terminal 150 by using a protocol such as the IP (Internet Protocol), a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or an RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) (12. IP/UDP/RTP content).
- IP Internet Protocol
- UDP User Datagram Protocol
- RTP Real-time Transport Protocol
- the recipient terminal 150 transmits a streaming service termination message to the streaming server 120, to release the session for the streaming service (13. RTSP: TEARDOWN).
- the recipient terminal 150 requests de-activation of the PDP from the packet data transmission unit 130, and the packet data transmission unit 130 de-activates the PDP, thereby terminating the process of checking the multimedia message according to the packet data-based streaming service (14. Secondary PDP context de-activation request & accept).
